Description and Significance Gram-negative, rod-shaped, filamentous bacteria. Was isolated from a biofilm hanging in an air conditioner condensate drain line at the University of Hawaii. Most species similar to it are found in soils, this is the first species found in an air conditioner.
Genome Structure There are 1517 nucleotides on the strain's 16S rRNA gene. It is most similar to Chitinophaga rhizosphaerae,Chitinophaga caseinilytica, Chitinophaga lutea, Chitinophaga niabensis, and Chitinophaga ginsengisol. G+C content is 47.58mol%. Since it is a new strain, there is little other information on the structure.
Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle Non-motile, strictly aerobic, catalase and oxidase positive. Major fatty acids include 13-methyl tetradecanoic acid, cis-11-hexadecenoic acid, and 3-hydroxy-15-methyl hexadecanoic acid.
Ecology and Pathogenesis Found in a biofilm. Chitinophaga pendula is not pathogenic to humans.
